Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Sociology Education] From University of Delaware

Effective social studies teaching requires extensive content knowledge in different areas of social studies as well as teaching skills. Our strong emphasis on pedagogy and content knowledge prepares our teacher candidates to teach the content of their major as well as the other social science disciplines, including history, civics, economics, psychology, sociology and geography. 

Even before they begin student teaching our candidates complete over 75 hours of classroom experience tutoring, mentoring and teaching adolescents in local secondary schools. In their senior year candidates participate in a year-long placement in the middle or high school where they will complete their student teaching.
